Who: Hermione and Harry
When: Today, lunchtime
Where: Harry and Ginny's flat, then elsewhere?
What: Lunch date between buddies

Hermione figured that Harry needed some time alone with Ginny. Afterall, they were newlyweds. They were back from their honeymoon, but Hermione still gave them some space. If it was her, she'd appreciate the distance. She figured they'd come to her when they were ready. And she was thrilled when Harry contacted her yesterday.

She got up early and logged some hours at the office, then clocked out to go to lunch with Harry. After apparating a block away and walking to the Potters' house, Hermione knocked on the front door.

	"I'll have to ask Kreacher if there are any in his old things. Otherwise we'll have to find an artist." Harry wondered if Dobby would have been able to get someone to take a photo for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Please let me know." Hermione said, nodding, then stepped up to the counter to order a bangers and mash sandwich. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry ordered for himself a thickly cut roast beef sandwich with cheddar cheese. He was glad he had a few muggle bills on him to pay for the meal, even though he rarely ever associated with the muggle world since leaving the Dursley's home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione pulled out a five pound note and handed it to Harry to pay for her lunch. "Here. Take this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry shook his head. "Keep it, I'm buying lunch." After being rich for twelve years, he still took pride in being able to buy things for his friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Please, Harry." Hermione said. She folded the bill and slipped it into his pocket. "I insist." With a grin, she moved to sit down at one of the little tables and wait for her sandwich to be ready. "I've got a volunteer meeting this afternoon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ron's signed up for that, right?" Harry tried to control the urge to smile. Back to the mission. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He's signed up to volunteer, yeah." Hermione said. She was a little oblivious to Harry's plan. "But I don't think he'll be at the meeting today. It's for new recruits." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's good," Harry said, trying to help both of his friends out. "You'll get to see more of him, spend some time with him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione paused, trying her best not to blush. What was Harry up to? "We'll both be rather busy." She said, giving him a funny look--as if trying to figure out what was going on behind those green eyes. "But I'm looking forward to it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry kept it at that. He wasn't going to push it. He picked up his roast beef and took a big bite. He hadn't had breakfast, so he was hungry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione leaned back in her chair a bit with a smirk. Her sandwich sat in front of her, untouched. Suddenly the waitress came out from the back, carrying two slices of cake, one with a candle in it. The chef was with her, and a bus boy, both looking like they had more important things they wanted to be doing. They started to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Harry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry felt his face get hot. He glared at Hermione with a mouth full of beef, but then had to smile once he had a chance to swallow. It was still nice to have someone care about his birthday, even if he was embarrassed. Cake beat coat hangers and hand-me-down socks any day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione gave a laugh at the expression on his face, then sung along and clapped when the song was over. She pulled a camera from her bag and snapped a photo of Harry as the waitress set the cakes down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can only imagine how much cake Mrs. Weasley is going to feed me tonight." He'd be caked out, for sure. "Thanks Hermione." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're welcome, Harry." Hermione gave him a grin, lifting her fork to tuck into her own cake. "I couldn't think of what to get for you. What do you get the Boy who has Everything?" A play on the Boy Who Lived? Stupid joke. "An embarrassing moment. That's what I figured you didn't have enough of." She was grinning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aww thanks," Harry said with a smile, "Didn't have enough of those in my childhood." He snorted. It was easy to laugh at the time at Privet Drive now. He'd suffered far worse in his life and he knew that he was better off than poor Dudley. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione laughed softly. "I know, I know. But you haven't had one in a while, so I thought I'd stir all those horrible memories up." She grinned, playfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"This is better than the tissue I got for Christmas one year." Harry waggled an eyebrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm really surprised you ended up such a wonderful person." Hermione said. It was supposed to be a compliment. "The way the Dursleys treated you... it was awful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They ruined Dudley far worse by giving him everything he wanted." Something about living in hell because an evil man killed your parents kind of made you want to be the opposite of that. Harry's drive to do right was fostered by seeing so many people hurt others by doing wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I never met Dudley." Hermione said, thinking about it. She would have liked to. She didn't really get to meet the Dursleys, either. Just saw them and heard lots of things about them. "I wonder if he's as terrible an adult as he was a child." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not so much," Harry rarely saw him, but when they'd bump into each other in London it was cordial. Dudley had even sent a Christmas card this year. "The Dementor attack changed him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-08-04 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Hermione nodded, poking at her cake with her fork. "I imagine a Dementor Attack would change anyone." It was delicious cake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Imagine that when you've never really been sad in your life. Imagine the shock." To experience real sorrow for the first time in such a scale, it was easy to see how Dudley had been afraid he'd never be happy again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
